Chapter 566 The Blind
Chapter 566 The Blind
Gossips and affairs are extremely interesting things.
And these things also diluted the war on a large scale, at least for Bai Lian, Han Jun and Da Qian.
It can be said that in the land of Jiuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, Bailian and the Han army faced off against Daqian, covering the four states of Pengzhou, Leizhou, Huzhou and Jiangzhou.
Of course, confrontation does not mean no fighting, but a small-scale fight and a fight deep behind enemy lines.
Therefore, at this time, the three parties sent small armies to attack each other's border, and mobilized large armies from time to time to scare them.
As for the biggest losses, they were Leizhou and Pengzhou of the White Lotus Sect. In fact, at the beginning of the war, Daqian sent a total of [-] troops to these two states. With the chaos everywhere, the losses of these two states were not insignificant. Small.
Of course, Daqian's losses were also not small. The White Lotus Sect who reacted was really carrying out assassinations and immediately assassinated them. They also sent troops for sneak attacks, but there was no large-scale army that could enter the territory of Daqian.
In fact, the losses caused by the White Lotus Sect to Daqian were not very large. It was actually the Han army's military operations in Fuzhou that caused huge losses to Daqian.
This is a naval-based military operation with a total investment of about 6000 troops. The main combat strength is a marine battalion of about 2000 troops.
However, just these 2000 people defeated nearly half of Fuzhou's territory and could not effectively rule it. It can be said that these 2000-person Marine Battalion caused huge harm to Fuzhou.
This military operation affected five counties in Fuzhou, totaling 73 counties. Thirteen of them were captured by the Han Army's road battle battalions, and about 400 million people were rescued.
Among them, more than [-] landlords, evil gentry, and powerful people were attacked. All the food and fields were given to the people, and only gold, silver, jewelry and other money were taken away.
Not only that, every time he went to a place, he could not say that he did not do things such as attacking local tyrants, dividing fields, holding public trials, and announcing policies, but he could only say that he had done them all, laying a foundation for the future arrival of the Han army.
But even so, the Han army has achieved control in these places that far exceeds Dagan's control.
For example, Daqian's county soldiers did not go to war at all. Even if they did, two or three thousand county soldiers would be quickly defeated when facing a squadron of the Han army, with almost no combat effectiveness.
Of course, after the defeat of the county soldiers, the wealthy rural groups, landlords and gentry who were harmed by them are another matter.
After all, no one can blame the defeated troops!
And from here we can also see how powerful the Han army is. Only about 50 people can defeat an army of thousands of people, causing them to flee after hearing the news.
And such an army with unstable military morale can easily beat up the militia and township groups, which can only prove the strength of the Han army from another side.
Therefore, Fuzhou was shaken for a while, and Jiangzhou was panicked, fearing that the Han army would attack.
So the governor of Fuzhou negotiated with the Jinling army many times, hoping that he would lead troops to encircle and suppress the Han army in Fuzhou.
The governor of Jiangzhou also negotiated with the Jinling Army many times. They hoped that the Jinling Army could strictly implement the prince's military orders and stand still.
This resulted in the Jinling Army having only [-] Fuzhou soldiers to encircle and suppress the Han army in Fuzhou. However, these Fuzhou soldiers could not find the Han army even if they went up the mountains and into the water. They could only eat dirt behind the Han army.
On a mountain road, a sparse line of officers and soldiers stretched for an unknown number of miles. Everyone looked tired, obviously they were very tired.
"Rest in place!"
Seeing this, the general could only order a rest, and then sighed.
To be honest, I have been in the mountains for two days and found nothing.
So he suspected that he had been deceived again.
He asked the deputy general next to him: "Tell me, I worship every god, why can't I catch the traitor?"
The lieutenant thought about the gods that the general worshiped along the way, including the river god, the land god, the mountain god, the city god, the moon god, the toilet god, the kitchen god, the door god, the gourd god, the snake god, the big chun god, and so on.
Oh, by the way, there is also his self-created guiding spirit.
So he shook his head: "Maybe, maybe, maybe it's because you are not pious enough, sir?"
The general couldn't help but look up at the deputy general after hearing this, and then sighed again.
"Ugh........."
At this time, a soldier asked cautiously: "Sir, I probably know why we can't catch up with the Han army. No, it's the Han thieves."
The general's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and he quickly grabbed his shoulders and asked.
"Oh, what's the reason? Tell me quickly!!"
The soldier hesitated and hesitated, and finally whispered: "That...that...general, the Han army, no, the Han thieves just allocated the land to my family not long ago, so, I think... ....I think......"
Although the soldier hesitated, the general roughly understood what the soldier meant, and immediately angrily grabbed him by the collar and picked him up.
Anyway, this kind of personal soldiers are dispatched by the army and are not part of the general's personal bodyguards.
He said angrily: "So, is this the reason why you betrayed the imperial court and didn't want to encircle and suppress the Han traitors??"
Although the soldier was frightened by the general's threat, he soon became angry again.
"Why not? The imperial court only allowed me to eat enough during this period of time. I was never full before."
"Besides, even if I am fed now, the court has not fed my family. I have parents, wife, and children at home. Who doesn't need food? Will the court provide it?"
"I tell you general, the court won't give it to him, but the Han thieves, no, the Han army will give it to him!"
"My wife sent me a letter, saying that the Han army came and distributed land to my family. They did not allocate less land because I was an officer and soldier in the army. The Han army also distributed to us the grain embezzled by the landlords and officials. It can give my family a bite of food and prevent people from starving to death."
"They also rescued thousands of women who were offered sacrifices by the imperial court to the Rakshasa barbarians, gave them food, fields, and sent them home."
"Not only that, the Han army also sent meat to pregnant families and treated sick families."
"You said, the Han army is so good, why should we encircle and suppress them?"
"Tell me, the Han army is so good, why do the people watch and let us encircle and suppress them?"
Listening to the words of the personal guard, the general was very angry, and became more and more angry, and then...
He became discouraged and sat on the ground dejectedly.
"Some time ago, my wife had a difficult childbirth. It was the Han army who rescued her and my son."
"So, I don't want to either, but I am an officer and soldier and they are traitors. How can I let them go?"
Having said this, he couldn't help but waved his hand.
"Oh, that's all, let's go worship the gods and bless them so that we can catch the Han army, no, catch the Han thieves."
So, half a month later, a small group of Han troops accidentally collided with the Fuzhou soldiers who were encircling them.
Then, they looked at the Fuzhou soldiers as if they had not seen them, and walked straight past them, shouting as they walked.
"Don't let the traitor leave, chase him quickly!"
